That the product includes entry
What an audio guide ticket includes
The ticket is standard entry with digital narration added. You download the audio to your phone and listen as you walk the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Listings say the audio works offline, so it does not use your data.
Some audio products sell the narration alone. One Viator listing is titled as an audio tour on your phone with no ticket, which means you would still need to buy entry separately. Read the title, and look for the word entry or ticket.
One Viator listing says its ticket is valid for two consecutive days. Validity differs by product, so read it on the listing you pick.
What an audio guide ticket costs
The official adult price is about EUR 18, plus a booking fee of about EUR 2. Under-18s enter free, and visitors aged 18 to 25 pay about EUR 2.
An audio guide product adds the cost of the narration on top of that, plus the reseller's own markup. It varies by product and date, so the listing shows the current figure.
Book an audio guide ticket
These three listings pair entry with an audio guide. Confirm the entry ticket is part of the product before you pay. One caution on GetYourGuide: visitors have reported being turned away after booking, and tickets that never arrived. Our provider comparison has the detail.
